Such impressive start of the season allows the Urs Fisher’s team to stay focused on European competition and battle Ludogorets for the third place in the group as it would be hard to challenge Arsenal and PSG for first two places in the group.

Ludogorets had passed three round of qualification on their way to the group stage of the Champions League, eliminating one by one Mladost, Crvena Zvezda and Viktoria Plzen. The team currently occupies third place in their domestic league and undefeated in their last five matches. We should note that Ludogorets lost only one of their 11 matches players this season.
Basel and Ludogorets played four head-to-heads in recent years. Three of these matches were won by Basel and one time Ludogorets were victorious. This is only the first match of the group but the losers won’t have many chances to be competitive in the group. We should expect experiences Basel who play at own turf to prevail in the match and take home win.
Prediction for the match: Basel to win.
